Baby names for the hard knock life

Producers Will Smith and Jay Z are set to bring back Annie in a brand new film adaptation starring Jamie Foxx, Cameron Diaz and Quvenzhané Wallis as the eponymous orphan. In honor of its opening on Dec. 17, we've compiled a list of the very best baby names from all of Annie's many incarnations.

Annie originally opened on Broadway — and won the Tony Award for best musical — in 1977, based on the "Little Orphan Annie" comic strip by Harold Gray. In addition to the show's many ear worms — I've had "Tomorrow" in my head since the mid '80s — acclaimed musicians Sia and Greg Kurstin have written three brand new songs for the film.
